After coming out of Kunde Palace, it was already close to evening in the afternoon, Li Xin hesitated, but returned to Weiyang Palace.

At this juncture, he is still more suitable in the palace, if he stays out of the matter, then it is possible to be passive in everything in the future, and he still has very important things to do.

When I walked to Weiyang Palace, it was completely dark, and several Zaifu were still inseparable, and they had never gone out in Weiyang Palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was kneeling in front of the Son of Heaven, still burning paper money.

Li Xin walked in front of the prince, knelt on the futon opposite the prince, and said softly: "Your Highness has been kneeling here for a day and a night?" ”

According to the rules of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Son of Heaven died, and as the prince, he had to keep his spirit in front of the spirit for three days, which means that the prince had to kneel here for three days, and then he would be the emperor in front of the Son of Heaven.

Although the Son of Heaven is sometimes a little mean, he still treats his son very well, so the Son of Heaven is dead, and the prince is also very sad, at this time his eyes are swollen, Wen Yan looked up at Li Xin, bowed his head and said: "Teacher, this is what a disciple should do." ”

Li Xin reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"You should kneel here, but you can't kneel here for three days? I have to go for a meal. ”

As he spoke, Li Xin looked at Xiao Zheng, who was waiting nearby, and asked, "Father-in-law Xiao, do you have any food to prepare?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Zheng immediately bowed his head: "In the side hall, rice porridge, broth and the like have been prepared, which can warm up the body." ”

Li Xin turned his head to glance at the spiritual position of the Son of Heaven, and then said in a deep voice: "Then I will take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince down to eat something, and then come back, it shouldn't have violated the rules?" ”

In fact, this rule of kneeling for three days, no one can really do it, after the change of Renchen Palace ten years ago, the Taikang Tianzi at that time also knelt for three days according to the rules, but he only knelt in front of people, as long as there were no foreign ministers in the palace, he would find a place to rest.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so sincere, and he knelt hard for a day and a night.

Xiao Zheng, as a eunuch in the inner court, naturally knew this, and he hurriedly spoke: "Go back to the Hou Ye, it's in order." ”

Li Xin nodded, stood up from the futon, and then walked up to the prince and stretched out his hand.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hesitated.

He looked left and right, and then he saw the queen mother not far away, looking at him nervously.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gritted his teeth, reached out and took Li Xin's outstretched hand, and barely stood up.

And the queen mother, who had been watching the situation on the prince's side, breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw this.

The prince knelt for so long, his legs were already numb, and as soon as he stood up, he almost fell directly to the ground, but fortunately, Li Xin's arm was very strong, and he directly helped him up, and then supported His Royal Highness the prince and walked towards the side hall.

So, the crown prince of the dynasty, the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, and Li Chang'an, the secretary of the military department, supported His Royal Highness the prince in such a grand manner, crossed the important ministers of the court in the bedroom of the emperor of Weiyang Palace, and slowly walked towards the side hall.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, because of his thin body and kneeling for a long time, his face was a little pale and he looked very weak.

And Li Xin, who was dressed in a first-class court dress, although he was dressed in white linen, had fluttering sleeves, wore a jade crown on his head, and had a good bearing.

This scene was seen by hundreds of civil and military officials.

As a result, some of the careful thoughts of many people in secret were shattered.

Originally, because the prince's maternal family was born in a small family, although he is the eldest son, there is still a lot of room for operation, for example, the prince suddenly died of illness after a year or two on the throne, or the prince is not virtuous enough, and the new monarch can also be discussed, but this Marquis of Jing'an is now clearly on the side of the prince, so there is actually no suspense in this round of imperial power.

After all, everyone at the top of the capital knew that behind Jing'an Hou Li Xin, there was not only a Jing'an Hou Mansion, but also a Ye family.

Some people who have climbed to the top of power, such as several Zaifu of Shangshutai, even know about the affairs in the southwest and are inseparable from this Marquis of Jing'an.

Such a court boss is still a court boss who holds half of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army openly standing in line and standing on the platform for His Royal Highness the Prince, plus His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest son of Emperor Daxing, and there is an edict, the prince's accession to the throne is already a sure thing.

Unless someone dares to jump out and face Li Xin head-on, as well as the Ye family, challenge the edict of Emperor Daxing.

Originally, whether the lonely and weak prince could successfully sit on the throne was still a question that needed to be waited and seen, but now Li Xin only stretched out his hand slightly, and this position can be regarded as sitting firmly.

As for what he will do in the future, that's not something we can know now.

Li Xin helped His Royal Highness the Prince, walked all the way out of the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and under the leadership of Xiao Zheng, walked to the warm pavilion of Weiyang Palace, where there were already palace people ready to eat a table and wait for the two of them.

After walking into the warm pavilion, he first sat down next to the low table, picked up a bowl of rice porridge, lowered his head and ate two bites, and then the more he ate, the more he felt that this rice porridge had a little salty taste.

When he raised his head and looked at Li Xin, who was sitting opposite him, he was already in tears.

"Teacher, the matter of the emperor...... You know that, don't you? ”

In the past few years when Taikang Tianzi was sick, he has been hiding his physical condition very well, not only Li Xin and other foreign ministers don't know, but even relatives like the Queen Mother and Prince are kept in the dark by him.

Li Xin shook his head slowly: "I don't know either." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had tears on his face.

"I went to see my father last month, and he was still ...... well"

Li Xin's face was calm.

"That's just His Majesty wants you to see him well."

A month ago, Taikang Tianzi's condition had reached a very serious point, and it was impossible for the prince to see a "good" Tianzi at that time.

The prince wiped his tears with his filial piety clothes, looked up at Li Xin, and his voice was a little frightened.

"Teacher, what should I do next......

"I don't understand anything yet, I won't be an emperor......"

Li Xin glanced at the prince deeply.

"No one is born to be an emperor, Your Highness has to learn slowly."

He said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, when he ascended the throne at the age of twenty-three, he would not be the emperor, so he stayed in Shangshutai for four or five hours a day to be a student of Zhang Xiang and them. ”

"After a long time, it will come naturally."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and said with some shrunken: "Then teacher, what should I do now?" ”

"After eating, change into thicker clothes, and go to Weiyang Palace to continue kneeling."

Li Xin also finished drinking a bowl of rice porridge, he put the rice porridge on the low table, and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Kneel for two more days, and His Royal Highness will officially ascend the throne and become the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked terrified.

"That'...... What about after I became the Son of Heaven? ”

"Naturally, I waited."

The Marquis of Jing'an didn't eat much for a day, so he asked the palace people to serve a bowl of porridge, and said slowly: "Your Highness is now thirteen, and in a few days after the New Year, you will be fourteen years old, and when you are two years old to sixteen years old, you can be in power." ”

"In the past two years, His Royal Highness can learn how to be an emperor in Shangshutai, and the things he does are basically the same anyway."

Shang Shutai had two auxiliary ministers who were going to act on behalf of the king for a period of time in the future, so what they did was theoretically what the Son of Heaven should do.

Speaking of this, Li Xin laughed to himself.

"Of course, His Royal Highness can also choose to be a faint monarch, lock himself in Weiyang Palace, and do whatever he likes, anyway, if you become an emperor, no one can restrain you."

The Marquis of Jing'an got up and patted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the shoulder.

"I have to say, Your Highness is very lucky."

"The three generations of the Son of Heaven in the Great Jin Dynasty can be regarded as Ming Jun, and they have left a very solid foundation for His Royal Highness."

"Even if Your Highness becomes a faint monarch in the future, you will not be able to defeat it for thirty or forty years."
